How low the moon!

I have promised never to comment on Clementine ads in Beirut/NTSC but this compilation landed in my lap courtesy of Milad. Remember that song "how high the moon"? Well, Clementine brings it down to rock bottom!... They used the moon for practically ALL their clients, and what's best is that they used the SAME moon!... They flipped it though for some of the ads, and blurred it for one and titled it for another, but  essentially... it is the same moon!...

please guys think about the ideas the spirit the content not the shape…
the ideas are super great in these ads and all of them are related to the same event under the same moon….
wahhdou allah!!!!

Hmm, yes I can see the lack of creativity here, but I imagine it must be difficult to come up with a Ramadan campaign for all of these brands..but this is the essence of advertising!

I agree with the one who said wahhdou allah... it's the moon's shape, can you change it?

these ads are so creative and funny at the same time... i loved the pc deal net one, so simple and creative and funny. thanks for sharing them on your blogg

next time, i'm gonna put the moon right next to the sun, with a little bit of snow falling so you'll be able to link the visual to ramadan in august, you will like it ;) i'm sure...

and who are you to talk about the "moustawa" of advertising in Lebanon?

show me what you got, and what you did and what you have achieved in 1 year.

let's play the "moustawa" game.

SEVERELY UNCREATIVE AS USUAL!
I am amazed by the replies to this post? You either have lost all your sense of advertising, OR are all working for Clementine!!!!

Kudos Tarek for this blog, please keep it going. It is one of the ONLY blogs that are not moderated; this is PURE freedom of expression.

How else can we keep our selves motivated and do better without constructive criticism?
